About Me
- Thomas Haller Buchanan
- My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

Only it's religious adventure...those are the Three Wise Men, right? And it's the November issue. Maybe she's supposed to be reading the Good Book? I like that cat in the lower right corner.
I suppose you're right. But at least it's not just the Wise Men all by themselves like you usually see. A caravan with spears and stuff is pretty adventurous, prepared for bandits going after all that gold and myrrh.
The lighting is gorgeous!
Great find. Who is the illustrator?
Well, it appears that it's a Norman Rockwell, although I might have guessed E.M. Jackson.
Thomas,
This lovely cover is not by Rockwell...he never did a cover for The American Girl. I have no idea who did this great cover but it is a swipe of the Rockwell cover to the February 16, 1929 issue of The Saturday Evening Post!
Thank you Mr. Door Tree. I was of that opinion as well, but the one source I saw on the internet said Rockwell. And I know of the cover you speak, I believe I blogged that one a long time ago (the one with the chubby little fellow asleep in the chair?). I am still thinking it looks like an E.M.Jackson, though the blurry initials in the corner don't look like his. Who knows. Nice cover.
